“If the players don’t like them, we’ll move on to something else,” Silver told Bleacher Report. “I don’t regret doing it for this season. But it’s intended to be something fun for the fans and the players. And if it becomes a serious issue, as to whether players should be wearing sleeves, we’ll likely move onto other things.”

James was vocal about his dislike of the form-fitting jerseys after shooting just 6 for 18 during Miami’s 111-87 loss at San Antonio on March 5. While he isn’t the only one to complain, James’ displeasure earned an invitation from Silver to discuss the future of the jerseys at season’s end.

An interesting tidbit: Bleacher Report notes that teams are shooting slightly worse in short sleeves (45.6) compared to their standard tank top jerseys (46.1).

The Spurs have worn the jerseys twice, in a 111-98 loss to Houston on Christmas Day and again against the Heat. They shot 40.7 and 50.6 percent, respectively. The first game proved to be a valuable learning experience as several Spurs, including Manu Ginobili, said they requested larger jerseys for the second.
